Hi Nuno and Jonathan,

Here is my view on this,

Lars-peter is maintainer of drivers falls in different subsystem, so If we can plan to drop/replace would need ack from Lars-peter and also mutual agreement from all respective subsystem owner as it won't be advisable just to update analog devices IIO drivers maintainer.

Regarding analog mailing list, we can plan to add list across MAINTAINERS where analog devices ownership is there as maintainer or reviewer.

Also, this change would be separate from both above points so we shall take it further.

Kindly share your thoughts, valuable input and guidance on how should we proceed further for this change and other two topics.

Thanks,
Sanjay Chitroda
